[QUOTE="Jason Hunnicutt, post: 9194806, member: 142389"]Okay, so my coin microscope arrives tomorrow, but I have been trying to figure this one out for a while now. I thought this quarter was struck through grease, OR was a gold plated quarter at one time and wore off... HERE THIS COIN NOOB OUT.... I examined this coin with a magnifying glass and still couldn't figure anything out except the discoloration (which does look greasy LOL) and the obvious ring that looks to be another coin on the obverse. So I decided that I was going to just take pictures and upload it here for help. What I could not see before came to light through photography. Right above the "P" mint mark on the Obverse you can faintly see the word "Liberty", and it is written in cursive just like it is on a nickel. But the size of the "liberty" on my quarter does not seem to be consistent with the size on a nickel...?? The side of the coin is not the classic silver OR copper, it looks blackish. Also, t[ATTACH=full]1521850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1521851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1521852[/ATTACH] he coin weighs 5.8 grams. The exact weight will be determined since my scale does not do 100ths. I will follow-up with shots from my coin microscope tomorrow, but in the meantime i want to hear from you all! Thank you[/QUOTE]
